Dynamic lightpath establishment in wavelength routed WDM networks.

Dynamic lightpath establishment in wavelength routed WDM networks.

In wavelength-routed WDM networks, a control mechanism is required to set up and take down all-optical connections. Upon the arrival of a connection request, this mechanism must be able to select a route, assign a wavelength to the connection, and configure the appropriate optical switches in the ne...
